Today is the 16th day of November. Welcome to the Daily Audio Vibal. I am Brian and it's

wonderful to be here with you today as we gather around the Global Campfire and move forward

by one step. One step forward each and every day leads us through the Bible in a year.

So it is wonderful to be here with you today around the Global Campfire taking the next

step forward. This week we're reading from the new international version and our next

step forward will lead us back into the book of Ezekiel and the journey continues with

chapters 33 and 34 today.

The word of the Lord came to me. Son of man, speak to your people and say to them,

when I bring this sword against a land and the people of the land choose one of their

men and make him their watchman and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows

the trumpet to warn the people. Then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the

warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head.

Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood

will be on their own head. If they had heated the warning, they would have saved themselves.

But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people

and the sword comes and takes someone's life, that person's life will be taken because

of their sin. But I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.

Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel. So here the word I speak

and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, you wicked person, you will surely

die and you do not speak out to dissuade them from their ways, that wicked person will die

for their sin. And I will hold you accountable for their blood. But if you do warn the wicked

person to turn from their ways and they do not do so, they will die for their sin though
